Pop/Rock Songwriter Celebrates New CD with All Ages Show Thursday August 5

The "SizzlinSummer in the D" Series showcases some of Detroit's hottest emerging and veteran artists at the Hard Rock Cafe. This original music series kicks off on Thursday August 5 with a live performance by Michael Bermudez and special guest Jimmy Atto. Doors are at 7:00 p.m., the show starts promptly at 8:00 p.m. and all ages are welcome to attend. Admission is just $5.

Michael Bermudez is currently celebrating the release of his sophomore CD "Scattered, Hopeless Hearts", a confessional of raw emotion and grit, addressing themes of life, love and loss. The full-length rock disc, infused with pop and jazz undertones, was produced by Al Sutton (Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow) and Paul Randolph (Jazzonova), and recorded over a five-month stretch at three Metro Detroit studios including Rustbelt Studios, Solid Sound Studios and Tempermill Studios.

Supporting Michael Bermudez is grass roots balladeer Jimmy Atto. Performing over 200 shows a year, Atto is a touring powerhouse attracting a large and loyal following from coast to coast. Atto's Hard Rock show will commemorate the release of his new single "Belong", available for sale at the show and on his web site jimmyatto.com.
